For those who haven't heard, a right-wing fundie type of group is trying
to get an initiative on the Oregon ballot next November. It would amend
our constitution to declare homosexuality (among other things) a
perversion and prevent the state from "condoning or promoting" any of the
listed "behaviors". "condone" is defined as "ignoring", so that only
leaves active opposition.
Anyhow, in their campaign, they recently sent out the following letter
to whatever mailing list they've got:
NO SPECIAL RIGHTS COMMITTEE
9150 S.W. Pioneer Ct., Suite W, Wilsonville, Oregon - (503) 682-0653
Dear Friend of Family Values,
Will your child or grandchild be recruited into homosexuality through
public school? Some children may already be lost.
According to a KATU-TV report, Portland public schools have begun
referring children to a homosexual advocacy group for counseling about
sexual identity issues!
If your children or grandchildren should ever become wards of the court,
will they be placed with homosexual foster parents? According to
another KATU-TV report, a state agency is actively recruiting
homosexuals as foster parents and placing children with them.
Will Oregonians with families and children be discriminated against in
the job market just because they are not homosexual? It could be
happening now. The Oregonian newspaper reports that one Oregon
government bureau is already hiring homosexuals on a quota system.
This is only a small sample of the homosexual agenda. The militant
homosexuals seek nothing less than a total revolution in moral values
that will directly effect you and your family. If "gay rights" becomes
law in Oregon, you will not be able to escape govemment-enforced
homosexual influence at work, at school, at church, and on your own
property!
Wherever "gay rights" has invaded, community standards have been
immediately degraded. For example, the 1991 "gay pride" parade in San
Francisco, captured on the No Special Rights campaign video, features
stark naked male homosexuals gyrating obscenely on flatbed trucks,
sado-masochist slave/master couples in chains and leather bondage,
butch-cut lesbian bikers, and simulated acts of sodomy and oral sex.
This takes place on a downtown street, in broad daylight, with police
protection!
Is this coming to Oregon? This year's Portland Gay Pride Day parade
featured leather-clad sado-masochists marching behind a car carrying
Portland Police Chief Tom Potter!
Homosexuals claim that they are "oppressed" by society. Are they?
Homosexuals enjoy the same Constitutional rights as everyone. They are
protected from physical and verbal harassment by the same laws that
protect us all. Surveys published in the Wall Street Journal and SF
Chronicle show that homosexuals have an average household income 70%
higher than the average American, and 400% higher than disadvantaged
legitimate minorities! Few homosexuals have children or dependents.
This gives them an even greater financial advantage over Americans
working to raise families. One out of every two homosexuals is a
professional or manager. Does this sound like a persecuted group to
you? Yet, militant gays say that having equal rights is not good
enough. They want the right to force acceptance of their perversion
upon you, your children, and your grandchildren.
The militant homosexuals are more organized, more aggressive, and better
funded than ever before. In October at their annual political dinner,
they raised over $120,000 in one night! In Portland, Corvallis,
Springfield, and Eugene, militant gays are marching lockstep to enact
special rights for their perversion. This is our last chance to turn
things around for Oregon.
The good news is this: Your no-cost-to-you 1991 Oregon political tax
credit can help STOP the militant homosexual agenda, but time is running
short. Here's what's at stake: This year, the No Special Rights
Committee is sponsoring a state-wide initiative designed to STOP the
homosexual political nda. The No Special Rights initiative will: a)
stop homosexuals from gaining "special rights" on the job, b) stop your
tax dollars from supporting homosexual activities, and c) stop schools
from promoting homosexuality to Oregon children.
However, to stop the well-financed militant "gay rights" political
machine, we MUST have your help.
Did you know that Oregon allows you to give part of your tax money
directly to the No Special Rights Committee and not have it cost you a
dime? Here's how it works: When you give $100 as a couple, or $50 as a
single person, to the No Special Rights Committee before December 31,
you can claim a dollar-for-dollar tax credit on your 1991 state income
tax retum.
Your contribution of up to $ 100 for couples and $50 for singles to the
No Special Rights Committee will be added to your refund if you have one
coming or subtracted from any additional taxes you may owe. It's that
simple!!
This is money you cannot keep or donate to a charity. If you do not
donate your political tax credit to a political action comminee like No
Special Rights, you will simply pay the money in taxes.
What's the catch? There's just one: In order for your contribution to
the No Special Rights Committee to qualify for the political tax credit,
it must be dated before the end of the year! Even if you don't have the
money right now, simply date your check for December 31, and we will
hold it for you till then.
Dear friends, whether we like it or not, we are in a war that will
determine the values of our community. And just as in any war, the side
that is willing to make the necessary sacrifices will prevail. The
homosexuals have pledged hundreds of thousands of dollars to defeat us.
They have support from the media, left-wing politicians, and anti-family
special-interest groups. They know that if they win this fight, there
will be no obstacle preventing them from imposing their will on the
people of Oregon, including presenting homosexuality as an acceptable
"alternate lifestyle" to children in public school! We must leave a
better future for our children!
WE NEED YOUR HELP NOW!!! The No Special Rights Committee is the only
organization that is standing tall against the militant homosexual
agenda in Oregon! We need you to contribute your Oregon political tax
credit to the No Special Rights Committee today. Even if you have
already given your political tax credit for this year, please give an
additional gift to help us fight this battle. If you can give more than
your $100 tax credit, now is the time. If you are a single person and
can afford to give one hundred dollars instead of fifty, please do so.
The No Special Rights Committee is pledged to make every dollar you give
stretch as far as possible.
Dear friends, if we do not act now, we may look back in five years, when
militant homosexuality has invaded every area of our lives, and wish we
had taken warning and done more to stop this agenda. Let's not miss
this critical moment.
Please mail your largest contribution possible to the No Special Rights
Committee today!
Thank you in advance for your generous support!
Lon T. Mabon Chairman, No Special Rights Committee
